[edit] 2003 hazing incident
In August 2003, it was reported that, while at a football training camp, at least three members of the football team were hazed by their fellow teammates.[1] Three members admitted to the acts, two of whom appeared in court.[2] The team's season was canceled early, and two coaches were transferred to administrative positions. The incident briefly garnered national notice, including a protest from the members of Westboro Baptist Church in October 2003.
